on Gardiner Island. He buried it there in

fashion IN the presence OF Lvon Gardiner.

this was an excruciating spaSm Of honesty. IL
would have killed many Of our people Of to-
day. But Gardiner evidently did not know
the value of money. Not a dolhoon stuck

WASHINGTON Aprii ll-There ia as much

and Crime" that il had further documen-

signed by Mr.. Parnell and supposed to have
been addressed to Egan TO pacify his SUbor
dinate when Parnell publicly denounced the
Phn,nix park murders. The letter fills one
side OF an ordinary sheet Of note paper,
and is in strange handwriting. 'l ours
very truly, Charles :. Parnell, in Parnell'S
writing. is at the top of the other leaf.
The Times suggests that the signature
was thus written 81 that it could be torn
off If necessary. The letter. which is
dated simply '-l5, ). 50 without an ad-
dress. j. a. follows: Dear ST-I am
not surprised at your friend Andrews. but
